Topic: 1950s Holmegaard Glasses... (Read 1532 times)

Trying to track down the pattern name of the glasses that came with this Aalborg Akvavit (Danish liqueur company) comissioned drinks set (with original box and pre-1965 labels... as well as an export label I've never seen before - hurray!):

Ah, thanks for that... although mine are a little shorter (spot on 14cm). It's possible that these were made shorter especially for the set, I guess...

Not too sure about the PL pattern number - from all the boxed pieces I have to hand (dating between 1950s-2000's) all the pattern codes are numbers only.

I'm trying to find my source which stated J.E. Bang as the designer... I jotted it down when I found the set on eBay and went hunting for a designer/period, but I can't for the life of me remember where from. :?

Thanks for that linkâlooks very interesting. Having looked at all the photos again, I'd say that the bowls of the Circaglass ones are smaller in proportion to the total height than yours but I'd guess the design was possibly produced with different sized bowls for different beverages , like so many others.

Why not email Circaglass & ask exactly what their box says? All I can say from memory is that "PL" was somewhere on the box :roll:
